Seven for a secret ......

... never to be told
If you know the rhyme of the magpies
One for sorrow, two for joy etc
Here are seven together .... I have never seen so many together before

I honestly have never seen a magpie before. They're interesting!

Great picture!

But can we have the rest of the rhyme?

Oh, I miss my magpies!

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
And four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Eight's a wish
And nine a kiss
And ten is a bird you must not miss .....

I have heard of the rhyme though!

That is so cool Sam!!! I love the picture and the little poem. Is it one you made up, or just an Irish thingy? Very cute!!

I love magpies but have only seen them once as we don't have them where we live. Love the poem!
